IPhone 12 Pro won’t stop vibrating

My mum’s iPhone 12 Pro started vibrating randomly and would not stop. It continued to do so throughout a call, when asleep, when accessibility vibrations were turned off and when vibrate on ring & silent were turned off. The only thing that got it to stop was shutting it down. It appears to have stopped after turning it back on, but is this a fault or a setting I need to turn off?


my mum has been very unlucky with her phones. This one is 7 days old, and her previous iPhone 12 Pro was exchanged at 14 days old due to the ringtone suddenly not working. Any advice?

Hello Pchohan,


We understand the concern with the unexpected vibration. It's hard to say precisely what happened. It could be related to a malfunctioning app, which is why restarting the iPhone resolved it as that shuts down the apps. We'd recommend monitoring the iPhone and see how things behave over the next couple of days. If it reoccurs, then Contact Apple Support directly.
